Really Really Rich People Problems
The Peachskins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mini bar
A collection of classic cars
A new whip
With two seats
Corrupt ministers on my street
A big house
A collection of classic cars
A new whip
With two seats
Corrupt ministers on my street
I woke up all by myself
And I ain't got
Nothin much to do
Then I took the steps down
And I admired the view
And when I looked away
I heard my private chef say
If I wanted fondue
Nah
You made that yesterday
C'mon I want something new
Yeah
Then I pulled out my cellphone
Cause I was feeling so alone
Caught up with all my boys in different timezones
And they told me bout their nine to fives
Sometimes I say I miss it
But sometimes I guess I lie
Yes I got really really rich people problems
And I don't wanna solve em baby
My best friend is living next door
In a house that I paid for
Cause I got really really rich people problems
And I don't wanna solve em baby
My best friend is living next door
In a house that I paid for
A big house
Mini bar
A collection of classic cars
A new whip
With two seats
Corrupt ministers on my street
A big house
Mini bar
A collection of classic cars
A new whip
With two seats
Corrupt ministers on my street
A big house
Mini bar
A collection of classic cars
A new whip
With two seats
Corrupt ministers on my street
Man if I was
If I was really really rich
I'd have like a private chef
And he'd ask me in the morning like
Hey do you want some fondue
Nah I don't want your damn fondue
The Peachskins' song "Really Really Rich People Problems" explores the perspective of someone who has acquired substantial wealth and the accompanying issues that come with it. The opening verses describe the luxurious lifestyle of the singer, with references to a big house, mini bar, collection of classic cars, and a new sports car with only two seats. However, the lyrics also hint at the presence of corruption in the neighborhood, specifically mentioning corrupt ministers on the same street. This suggests that even in a world of opulence, societal issues and moral dilemmas persist.
The chorus reveals the internal struggle of the singer. They wake up feeling alone and with an evident lack of purpose. They mention their "private chef" serving them fondue, but the singer quickly dismisses the idea, wanting something new and exciting instead. This illustrates the monotony and discontentment that can arise when material wealth becomes the norm. The following verse portrays the singer seeking connection with their friends around the world through phone calls. Although they sometimes express nostalgia for a simpler life structured by a regular nine-to-five job, they also acknowledge that they may not always be truthful about missing it.
Overall, the song delves into the dichotomy of having immense wealth while also facing unique challenges. It highlights the emptiness and detachment that can come with excessive luxury, emphasizing that money does not necessarily bring happiness or fulfillment.

I started the day alone
And I ain't got
Nothin much to do
I don't have many activities or responsibilities

If I wanted fondue
Asking if I desired to eat fondue
Nah
No, I don't want it
You made that yesterday
I already had fondue yesterday
C'mon I want something new
Come on, I want a different dish
Then I pulled out my cellphone
I brought out my mobile phone
Cause I was feeling so alone
Because I was feeling lonely
Caught up with all my boys in different timezones
I caught up with all my male friends who live in different time zones
And they told me bout their nine to fives
They shared stories with me about their regular jobs
Sometimes I say I miss it
Sometimes I express that I miss having a typical job
But sometimes I guess I lie
But sometimes, I suppose, I'm not being entirely truthful
Yes I got really really rich people problems
Indeed, I have problems associated with extreme wealth
And I don't wanna solve em baby
And I don't want to resolve them, darling
My best friend is living next door
My closest companion lives right beside me
In a house that I paid for
In a residence that I purchased for them
Man if I was
If I was really really rich
If only I were truly, immensely wealthy
I'd have like a private chef
I would employ a personal chef
And he'd ask me in the morning like
And they would inquire in the morning
Hey do you want some fondue
Hey, would you like to have some fondue?
Nah I don't want your damn fondue
No, I don't want your darn fondue
